DAHLONEGA — University of North Georgia women's basketball player Kendall Emener has been named as the Chick-fil-a Nighthawk of the Week after coming off the bench to average 14 points and 3.5 rebounds per game for the 22^nd-ranked Nighthawks.

Emener's week was highlighted by leading four Nighthawks in double figures with a game-high 20 points on a perfect 9-for-9 from the floor in a 103-44 road win at King on Monday. Her perfect shooting evening etched her way into the UNG records book as she matched the single game field goal percentage record held by Deana Blankinship (12-for-12 versus Lander on 3/4/18). In Saturday's home loss to No. 9 Tampa, she recorded eight points. 

The Nighthawk of the Week title sponsor is Chick-fil-a of Dawsonville, with each week's winner being treated to a complimentary combo meal at the Dawsonville restaurant. Located at 231 Power Center Drive, Chick-fil-a loves to give back to the local area and is proud to be a community partner with UNG Athletics.

Beginning in the fall of 2014, the UNG athletic department began honoring one student-athlete each Monday morning as the Nighthawk of the Week. The award is chosen each Sunday evening by an award selection committee made up of members of the UNG athletics administrative staff.
